As a result, both the Singles and Doubles formats will see a power creep as a result of the addition of Pokemon from Pokemon HOME. Trainers will incorporate new Pokemon like Ursaluna, Hisuian Goodra, and Enamorus from Pokemon Legends: Arceus into their teams because of their impressive stats and abilities, as well as legendary Pokemon like Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus.

In this article, we will rank the most widely used creatures in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s VGC Doubles format.
